2022 I owed taxes on both federal and state returns.  I  used the vouchers supplied by Turbo Tax to pay what I owed.  However, I apparently did not send in the tax form.  I thought it had been done electronically.  My 2023 return cannot be processed because of this.  Can Turbo Tax send 2022 return?  How do I fix this?

No,  TurboTax cannot send in your 2022 return.  A 2022 return can only be filed by mail.  You will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and send it by mail yourself.   

As for your 2023 return---you are having trouble e-filing because the IRS has no record of your 2022 AGI.  Try using zero instead.  If zero does not help you e-file, then you will need to file 2023 by mail.

But do NOT mail 2022 and 2023 in the same envelope!!!!

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

@japple1941 Just double check the IRS --- see if they show a transcript for a 2022 return for you.
